Property ManagementIntermediateColorado Exam

A Colorado commercial landlord's 'common area maintenance' (CAM) charges in a NNN lease may include all of the following EXCEPT:

AA. Parking lot maintenance
BB. Landscaping and snow removal
CC. Landlord's personal federal income taxesCorrect
DD. Property insurance premiums for common areas

Why C. Landlord's personal federal income taxes Is Correct

Answer C: C. Landlord's personal federal income taxes

CAM charges in a triple-net lease are expenses related to maintaining the common areas and operating the property — such as parking lot maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, building insurance, security, and common area utilities. The landlord's personal income taxes are NOT a legitimate CAM expense and cannot be passed through to tenants.
